Would it make sense for Sony to add an UHD drive in 12 months?

1. We don't know Scorpio's price. Its not crazy to presume it will be $399.

2. There would be a massive amount of backlash if Sony released a new PS4 with a UHD drive. They need to wait a few years and maybe put it in a PS4 Pro Slim.

3. UHD isn't just a Scorpio selling point, X1 S already has UHD support. Frankly, Sony made a bad call. Both the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro should have UHD support.

So UHD drive, 6TF gpu, Supposedly better CPU, More ram.... all for $399? the obky way i see them coming in at $399 is if they bite the bullet and sell the console at a loss. 

But another way to look at it is this.... if MS could do all that and sell the console at $399 and not at a loss.... how much do you think it woukd be costing Sony at that time to make the PS4pro? What happens if Sony drops the Pro to $299 and the PS4 slim to $199?

Well they added a UHD drive and boosted the CPU performance of the X1 S and kept it $299. I believe they are willing to sell Scorpio at a small loss.

I don't think Sony is as willing to lose money on hardware, they are market leading anyhow.
